After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.

Title. The name or title of the feed. Make it as descriptive as possible.

The functions are:

List Filters

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by typing part of the title or the ID number.

If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Search' to display the matching items. You can enter in whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Filter by Access, State, and Language

In the upper right area, above the column headings, there are 4 drop-down list boxes as shown below:

The selections may be combined. Only items matching both selections will display in the list.

Select Access. Use the drop-down list box to select the access level.

Select Status. Use the drop-down list box to select the published state: Published, Unpublished, Trashed, or All. For Articles, you may also select Archived. Important: With the default setting of -Select Status-, the screen only shows Published and Unpublished items. If you have the filter set to -Select Status- and you change items to Trashed, the Trashed items will disappear from the screen. However, they have not been permanently deleted. To do that you need to:

Change the filter to Trashed. The Delete icon will now show in the toolbar.

Select the items you want to permanently delete.

Click on the Delete icon.

You can see all items, regardless of their published state, by selecting All for this filter. You can also re-publish Trashed items by selecting them and clicking on the Publish icon in the toolbar.
